Mr. Kevin Cloe was our guest speaker today, Thursday Sept. 20, 2009, from the Wickenburg Sun. Mr. Cloe is the publisher of the paper and has a great amount of experience with over 36 years in the business.
With lots of knowledge, we were able to gain answers and useful tips. Some important things that I learned was "don't lose focus of the facts," said Mr. Cole; to always make sure that you know what you're talking about and to keep it straight and not made up.
Also "people rarely actually read the whole paper," said Mr. Cole. Everybody is intrested in something they enjoy and want to read, such as the sports section, the classifed section, or the main headlines. We need to reach out to everyone.
Lastly, I learned that it's key to "know how to spell people's names" said Mr. Cloe. There's nothing worse than covering a topic or a certain someone and misspelling names. It's almost like going back to knowing your facts.
We thank you again Mr. Cloe, and enjoyed learning so much. We look forward to seeing you again.
